Senate Senior Class President Brian
Gallus announced his resignation from the
Bethel Student Senate on November 1.
Gallus shared at the meeting that he was
regretfully resigning from his post due to
conflicts outside of Senate, namely aheavy
homework load and an extremely busy
work schedule. These conflicts left him
little time to concentrate on his Senate
duties. Since he was unable to fulfill these
duties, Gallus felt that he should step down
from his
posts as
both
Senior
Class
President
and
Student
Senator.
Senate
Chairperson
Seann
Dikkers
felt that
Gallus
was right
in making
h i s
decision
to resign.

Senator Brian Gallus recently resigned his seat on the

Bethel College Student Senate.
Gallus go, was also of the opinion that a
Senator should be willing to commit a
certain amount of time and effort to Senate
and that, as of this year, Gallus was not able
to do this. Dikkers also noted that Gallus
made a very mature decision and hopes that
this will be an example for other Senators
to re-examine how much time and effort

they are putting into Senate.
During the meeting on November 8,
Gallus, who agreed to try to attend meetings
until November 15, made an effort to dispel
rumors that he resigned due to anger over
the sweatshirt issue or that he is leaving
Senate to spend more time with his
girlfriend.
Senate will be holding an election on
November 29 in order to fill Gallus' post.
In order to avoid the large amount of time
and money that it takes to run a campaign,
Senate declared that this will not be a
public election. If students wish to
participate in the election they must come
to the Senate
meeting on
November 22
in order to
listen to the
candidates'
speeches and
lobby for a
particular.
The
Student
Senate is
planning to
meet with the
Student
Government
o f
Northwestern
College.
There are
feelings in the
Senate that
since both
Bethel and
Northwestern
are Christian
colleges located just a few miles apart that
the two should begin to become familiar
with one another. The meeting is tentatively
set to take place over Interim.
Of the meeting between the two
government bodies, Senior Senator Damion
Phillips said the following:
